Coming in the Sunday Magazine in the New York Times, is a fantastic assessment of Barack Obama’s first half of his term in the White House. What we like about it is that it touches on the disillusionment a lot of his early supporters feel right now, what Obama has done well, and what he needs to do to gain confidence with those supporters again. We appreciate Obama’s words and evaluation of himself as well.

“Now, the one thing that I will say — which I anticipated and can be tough — is the fact that in a big, messy democracy like this, everything takes time. And we’re not a culture that’s built on patience,” Obama says.
